They require the least skill of any weapon in this game, and are the most dangerous.
If this game had ANY logic to it's design, Plasma Cannons would be the most powerful AV. Instead, Plasma Cannon users have to deal with an arc AND slow projectile speed, and their reward for getting hits despite those is to do a pitiful amount of damage while some skill-less Swarm user just holds down R1 three times and then waits through a short reload before doing that again until he runs out of ammo. I see you've never used swarms. It does take skill. If you don't time your shots just right the pilot will simply run off quickly, regen, and come back for another round. Plus swarms barely scratch shield tanks, even at proto. So unless the pilot is an idiot, or you coordinate your attack with another av player, vehicles can be on the verge of invincibility. Why are we even having this conversation again? Wtf
I'm only going to say that I have some specialization into swarms on my alt and they do NOT require skill to use. It's total bs to say that they require timing to pull. You just shoot them as quickly as possible before the vehicle runs out of your range. There's nothig more to it.

You said it yourself, shoot till it runs away. I don't want it to run away I want it to die. Therefore you have to time your shots with another av player Now, if you nerf them, especially by an absurd 50 percent swarms will be utterly useless
Only if you don't engage them at a distance, when you can't get any closer, but can do enough damage to scare them off. I've had a fair amount of success in destroying HAVs though when I'm right next to them.
And also, need I remind you that the 50% nerf thing in the OP was just a joke to make a point?
